At Least 34 Dead in Syrian Car Bomb Blasts 
-------------------------------------------


 
In Syria, at least 34 people are dead after two car bombs exploded in a
suburb of the capital Damascus early Wednesday amidst ongoing clashes
between anti-government rebels and the regime of Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad. Amateur video uploaded Tuesday showed Syrian rebels shooting
down a military helicopter over the northern city of Aleppo. The video
is seen as potential proof the rebels are now using heat-seeking
missiles in the fight against government forces. Meanwhile a United
Nations General Assembly committee voted Tuesday to condemn the Syrian
government for widespread human rights abuses.
